Pros

They have very good benefits.

Cons

The upper management is not connected with the people actually doing the work. Company is very top heavy with management.

OK, but limiting and poorly managed

Pros

- Good work-life balance, not much overtime, 9am-6pm most of the time - Most people were pleasant and friendly - Genuine desire to do the best by their clients - Flexible with time and holiday entitlements - Interesting range of projects - Good CBD location

Cons

- Poorly managed with contradictory incentive system producing silly timesheet practices - Deficient project management and costing of tenders, making write-downs more likely - Little if any desire to help employees with professional development - in fact, they get in the way of it. - They shed employees very quickly when things get a bit tough (despite all spouting guff about people being their most important asset), so no job security at all. - Sydney-based management look after each other at the expense of good business practise - Terrible at tapping the expertise in the wider company (outside your own office). Both seeking and getting information and, God-forbid, actually getting them to work on and book time to a project - all too hard, apparently!
